Hi, I’m a Texas resident and have been a pap art student all four years of highschool. I didn’t do every good my freshman or sophomore year. Maybe finished with a few A’s B’s and one C in Spanish. I finished sophomore year with a 3.5 overall GPA I finished with a 4.0 this year with a high A In every class (end of my junior year) I’m looking to major at the university of Texas at Austin in a bachelor science of arts and entertainment technologies degree. Next year I am taking AV video production and sound engineering as well as all AP classes for my senior year, including AP art and science. I haven’t gotten act or sat scores back yet but I was curious on how the admission process worked with their art department. Is it just as competitive? I have a professional portfolio as well as I work for several music non profits and organizations. I put together local concerts in downtown dallas, I interview bands for profit that all goes to the charity of their choice. I teach children during summer classes at my local art studio, help with a non profit for deaf people in the music industry, volenteering for Austin City Limits next year, and I am also looking into doing sound engineering for my church. I have several part time jobs as well. I have a huge variety of things on my resume. How are my chances? The major is new and was established in 2016 so I don’t believe many people know about it yet… only a resume is required but I will send a portfolio anyways.
thank you!
